| The Global Market for Composites: Resins, Fillers, Reinforcements, Natural Fibers and Nanocomposites (PLS029H) |
| Thermoset composites |
|
These prepregs and resin systems create an irreversible chemical bond, offering heat resistance, stability, flexibility, and durability to the material. They are used in a variety of applications in aerospace, automotive and oil and gas.
|
| Thermoplastic composites |
|
They offer OEMs a unique opportunity to replace metals such as steel and aluminum with a lightweight and advanced material that offers excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and strength.
|
| Carbon fiber |
|
Carbon fiber is an organic material produced from PAN (polyacrylonitrile) or pitch (a viscoelastic polymer). It offers superior structural, thermal, electrical and frictional performance for a variety of unique applications, including brakes, defense systems, and commercial aircraft. |
